Episode 020 Entering the Palace

Seeing Mrs. Shizi hugging Dong Yuan, the old lady was looking at them with a smile. There was no inquiry or doubt in her eyes, only kind doting and sincere joy.

The second wife also beamed with joy.

Xue Dongrong smiled lightly and elegantly as always, like a proud and independent snow lotus, hard to hide the dignity of a noble lady in the cold.

Dong Yuan was slightly relieved, it had nothing to do with her jade pendant.And looking at the expressions of the old lady, Mrs. Shizi and the second lady, it should be a good thing.

She settled down slightly in her heart, and asked Mrs. Shizi with a smile: "Auntie, are you going to enter the palace on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month? I will go too? Who else?"

The slanted and enchanting eyes shone slightly, shining brighter than black gemstones. With her joy, smiles piled up at the corners of her eyes. The magnificence like brocade and flowing clouds made the first lady and the second lady stunned.

The old lady smiled deeply.

"The year the imperial concubine married into the Prince's Mansion, sister Rong was under six years old, sister Yuan was under three years old, and sister Lin was still in her infancy. After all these years, the imperial concubine misses you very much and wants to see what you have grown into now. It looks like..." The old lady laughed, "The prosperity is prosperous, Xiuzheng is auspicious, the empress dowager pardoned the empress empress, the imperial concubine Sheng and the sisters of our imperial concubine's family all came to the palace to have a look, so that the empresses can reunite with their sisters... "

Xue Dongjing is 26 years old this year. She entered the Prince's Mansion when she was less than 14 years old. It has been more than ten years now.

Wanting to see that the sisters in the family are fake, is it one of the reasons why the empress dowager wants to see the daughters of the Xiao family, the Sheng family and the Xue family who are about to be sent to the palace?
What else?What other reason is there to violate the rules of the ancestors and invite their untitled girls who have not been out of the pavilion into the palace?

Dong Yuan couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have the time to think deeply at this moment, she quickly restrained her emotions, made an expression of sudden realization, and said with a smile: "I caught up with the good times! I always hear the mothers at home say how beautiful the imperial concubine is. , but I don’t quite remember it, and now I can finally see it…”

Just as he was talking, the third wife Jiang also came to greet the old lady.

Seeing the laughter in the room, he asked the old lady and Mrs. Shizi what they were talking about, so happy.The third wife, Mrs. Jiang, has a straightforward personality. She always says what she has, but she also knows how to measure it. The old lady likes her frankness the most.

Mrs. Shizi smiled again and told about the empress dowager's pardon for several daughters of the Xue family who accompanied the old lady and Mrs. Shizi into the palace on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

"This is really an unheard of favor!" The third lady became happy and sat next to the old lady, "Our noble concubine is really very dignified in front of the queen mother and the emperor."

The old lady and Mrs. Shizi were very happy when they said this.

Mrs. Shizi was still modest: "Not only our family, but also the daughters of the Sheng family and the Xiao family..."

"Maybe it's for our family's occasion!" The third lady smiled, "Sister-in-law, you are really lucky. The eldest lady is the imperial concubine, and the second lady is the wife of the son of Duke Shan. She gave birth to Shan Guo after only one year of marriage. The eldest grandson of the Duke's mansion..."

Mrs. Rong gave birth to Xue Dongjing, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and Xue Dongyu, the second daughter. Both daughters married better than other sisters in the house.

Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. Shizi's face became even stronger.

"It's all thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, and it's also a blessing from our parents..." Mrs. Shizi laughed.

The old lady laughed at the third lady: "Why, your daughter is not married well?"

Xue Dongyao, the daughter of the third wife, the sixth daughter of the Xue family, is married to the eldest son of Hong Jiabo Zhen, the hereditary second-generation general of the Fuguo, who is currently the Minister of Rites. They got married in June this year and are now four months pregnant.The eldest son of the Zhen family is gentle and considerate to Xue Dongyao. The newlyweds are just like honey. Every time Xue Dongyao goes back to her mother's house, her cheeks are delicate and bright, and she looks like a happy little daughter. Jiang and the old lady are relieved and like it when they look at it .

A few days ago, Mrs. Jiang was going to the temple to fulfill her wish for her beloved daughter. When her mother-in-law mentioned it, she laughed loudly: "It is also thanks to the blessings of the ancestors and the blessings of the parents. Marry well, marry Well done!"

Dong Yuan and the others were also affected by her laughter, and they all laughed.

"Who will marry well?" When everyone roared with laughter, the fourth wife, Shen Shi, walked in without hearing the servant girl's report.Outside the curtain, she heard the third lady say that she is married well...

Everyone got up to greet her, she returned the salute one by one, and then greeted the old lady, and then sat next to the second lady, on a row of sandalwood and vermilion lacquer chairs covered with ink, emerald green and heavy brocade chairs beside the kang.

Mrs. Shizi explained to her with a smile: "The third sibling said that it is good for the daughter to marry, thanks to the great blessings of the ancestors!"

The fourth lady still doesn't understand.

Mrs. Shizi told the story of entering the palace on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month again, and she was so happy that the fourth lady recited Amitabha several times: "Blessed by the ancestors and blessed by the emperor, our girls can go to see the world..."

Dong Yuan was amused, what kind of worldly experience is this?Can they still go to the Imperial Garden to wander around like traveling?
The fourth master is from a concubine, and Shen's is also a concubine. She has no daughter, and the two concubine daughters in the fourth room are married. The marriage of children has nothing to do with her. She just said a few polite words according to the occasion.

Just talking and laughing, Mama Xing, who is in charge of the small kitchen, came to report: "The uncle sent Chi Shao to send three wild pheasants and two hares, saying that today I went hunting with my colleagues in the Western Mountains, and I didn't dare to use them, so I used them as a filial piety." Lord Hou and the old lady..."

Uncle refers to Xue Huasheng, Dong Yuan's first cousin and the eldest son of Shizi's wife Rong.

Everyone's eyes fell on Mrs. Shizi.

The wife of the eldest son, Mrs. Rong, raised the corners of her lips slightly, as if she was proud of you.

The old lady laughed, "Brother Sheng has always been filial..." She ordered Xing's mother: "The stew is rotten, and this is what I will serve for dinner." Then she smiled at the house full of daughters-in-law and granddaughters, "You girls today They all eat here."

Then I remembered something, and called Baojin, Baolu, Ziyuan, and Lufu again.

"Baojin went to invite Grandma, and brought Sister Rui and Jia; Baolu and Ziyuan went to the fifth room to invite Sisters Lin, Yi, Yan, and Xian. Let their wet nurses follow, dress more tightly, and be careful to freeze in the cold." The old lady ordered one by one, and then said to Lu Fu beside her, "Go to the outer courtyard and talk to Fangfeng, the servant of Lord Hou. In a word, in the evening, I will invite all the wives, girls and young masters to eat game, let Hou Ye eat it outside, and ask the kitchen outside to cook some of the Hou Ye's favorite food."

The eldest grandma is the uncle Xue Huasheng's direct wife Hang, and both sister Rui and Jia Ge are the direct children of Xue Huasheng.

Several maidservants responded respectfully and withdrew. After a while, Rongde Pavilion became more crowded and lively.

**************
The decree issued in the thirteenth palace of the twelfth lunar month, Yipin, the wife of the Duke of Xiao and the biological mother of the empress, ordered the wife of the Duke of Xiao and the direct sisters of the empress to enter the palace on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month to express gratitude; the Sheng family was seventeen, and the Xue family ranked tenth Eight.

Within two days, this incident spread among the prominent clans in Kyoto.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang, who lives in Uncle Jianheng's Mansion, was elated, and ordered her maids, Bi Tao and Bi Liu, to pack their bags. She wanted to go back to Zhenxianhou's Mansion, dress up for Sister Lin, and give some advice.

She herself rushed to bid farewell to Mrs. Jian Hengbo.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere!" Mrs. Yang immediately turned gloomy when she heard Yang's words, and sternly reprimanded, "If the Zhenxianhou Mansion does not send someone to pick it up, you can live with me at ease!"

"Mother!" Yang immediately became anxious, "Why do you care about my dignity at this time? If I don't go back, those lazy people don't know how to waste my sister Lin. Mother, this is an unprecedented opportunity! If the Queen Mother sees If you win, our sister Lin will be the imperial concubine in the future!"

"You live here honestly, you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Mrs. Yang's face became more and more serious, and her voice was sharp, "Wait for Zhenxianhou's mansion to send someone to pick me up!"

Yang Shi listened, and there was resentment in her eyes. Why did her mother, who always loved her, not think about her and sister Lin at the critical moment?
